Thanks to the lovely Ms Cate there was a bit of a Craft Cartel appearance at Swinburn Prahran campus today. They were having a youth week celebration with an amazing souvlaki cook up, some hilarious sexual health awareness street theatre, some healthy food promotion, and our wee stalls.
I had a great time meeting students and talking to them about radical craft. And it’s been my first market in a little while so it was wonderful to get out there and deal with my withdrawals.
And I unveiled a new product!
I’ve had the wonderful pleasure of having my gran over to stay from Aotearoa for the last few weeks and we’ve been having all sorts of intergenerational crafty fun. And as we played with new skills and design ideas we ended up collaborating on a new product.
Presenting the Plug Rug!
These handmade crocheted key ring tampon cozies are made from lovely soft second hand wool and are a perfect way to disguise your emergency stash
They fit all sizes brilliantly. This is a pic with a regular size
And this is them on today’s stall!
As a special introduction offer, I’m gonna have them on sale for one week only in my Etsy store for $4. Then they’ll be back to the $5 price. So if you like them grab one soon!
It was lovely to show them off today and people really liked them which made Gran and I very happy!
I also managed to interview Cate today about the Buy Nothing Craft Month. So check out the next podcast next week!
Now, I know that it’s a bit contradictory of me to advocate buying nothing as well as announcing a new product, but hey, I’m a bit broke. As a way of dealing with my hypocrisy I will make the sale price available to anyone who participates in the BNCM on their website at the end of the month. I hope that makes sense.
Hey! Get stitching!

Hey, the comment area is back indeed. Fortunately, because I really (?) needed to tell you that with the first close picture I thought the plug-rugs were kinda weird crocheted condoms ! Hilarious but… maybe not so effective ;o )
Hilarious! I’ll have to tell my wife’s area rug company about this. Maybe they’ll want to add them as an impulse buy at the counter! Thanks
